About Us

Phoenix exists to facilitate students' opportunity to discover a deeper understanding of self and their relationship to the world in which they live. Phoenix is a community where students, parents, teachers, and community members are actively involved in teaching and learning from each other. The responsibility is shared for providing a stimulating environment in which all students are encouraged to reach their highest potential. We value self-direction, student choice, the relevance of curriculum, students being responsible for their learning, and the evaluation of their progress.

We strive to make students feel valued and a part of their school. Along with the Worthington Schools graded course of study, the program also includes:

Creative Start: classes in the arts and music for all students every day
Flexible block scheduling, allowing for integration across disciplines/curricula
Foundations: building basic skills in areas such as writing, technology, research skills, public speaking
Connections: a critical thinking course that includes service-learning and multidisciplinary projects
Learning Extensions: teacher-supervised time at the end of the school day is used to further develop and extend student learning, support concept mastery, complete homework, and provide time for extracurricular activities

Service learning connected to the curriculum
